Virtually structured illumination for terahertz super-resolution imaging
We demonstrate structured illumination super-resolution imaging in the Terahertz (THz) frequency band using the Virtually Structured Detection (VSD) method. Leveraging our previously reported high-speed, high-sensitivity atomic-based THz imager, we achieve a resolution enhancement of 74(3)% at 0.55 THz, without the aid of deconvolution methods. We show a high-speed THz imaging system is compatible with the use of advanced optical techniques, with potential disruptive effects on applications requiring both high speed and high spatial resolution imaging in the THz range.
